This is the first ever record of a hard substrate (i.e. a boulder) community deep beneath an ice shelf and it appears to go against all previous theories of what types of life could survive there.

Bedmap3 is the most fine-grain map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice. Scientists created it using more than 60 years' worth of data from satellites, ships and dog-drawn sleds.

The most detailed map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice sheet has been assembled by a team of international scientists led by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). Known as Bedmap3 ...

One of these terra incognita is the land beneath Antarctica’s ice sheets. Buried under kilometres of ice is a fascinating realm of canyons, waterways, and lakes. These features have now been ...

But beneath Antarctica’s frozen landscape, volcanoes quietly shape Earth's climate in surprising ways. Recent scientific studies reveal that melting ice sheets in West Antarctica might trigger ...

The ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica play a pivotal role in global sea level changes. Together, these regions hold an immense volume of ice – enough to potentially raise sea levels by ...

NASA satellite measurements calculate that since 2004, Antarctica as a whole is losing 130 billion tons of ice each year. This is the weight equivalent of 356,000 Empire State Buildings.

If the sheets of ice that sit on top of Antarctica and Greenland were to collapse, the rate of sea-level rise could skyrocket, making coastal cities uninhabitable and destroying trillions of ...

NBC’s Chase Cain reports from Antarctica, where melting ice is accelerating sea level rise and disrupting global weather patterns. Once a symbol of international cooperation that helped heal the ...
